Thank you, Mr. Hiebert.
Mr. Minister, two or three times you referred to your view of the legislation. One of the areas I hope you'll be able to amplify when we go on to further questions is that of the operations and the condition of the operations of the state of the union in both the access and privacy commissions. You're probably aware from your briefings that there are human resource deficit issues that have led to significant backlogs, etc.
This is a serious matter. I hope you will be able to give us some assurances that it's not just good enough to have an act; if the act is not being enforced and responded to, having a good act really doesn't help you very much.
